For fans of baseball movies, "Summer Catch" is a Bull Durham-esque film about the Cape Cod League staring Freddie Prinze Jr. Its not on the same level as Bull Durham, but its got a lot of laughs in it.

Evan Taylor is pitching for the Anchorage Bucs in the Alaska League. He's pitched 6 innings without giving up a run including one start in which he went 5 gave up 1 hit and K'd 7. Liam Henry also pitches for the Bucs and has a 5 inning start in which he gave up a run on 3 hits and K'd 5.

Has the old Jayhawk summer league gone by the wayside? Back in the day, (70s-80's) it and Alaska were where guys wanted to go. Seems like the Cape was just starting to come into play.

From poking around on the Internet, it appears that the Jayhawk League is no more, although some of its teams moved to a different league. Here's the last post (from September 2018) on the league's Facebook page:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASETOP JAYHAWK LEAGUE TEAMS TO JOIN KANSAS COLLEGIATE LEAGUE BASEBALL

September 25, 2018: Pursuant to a press release issued this afternoon, The Hays Larks, Liberal Bee Jays and Dodge City A’s will be joining Kansas Collegiate League Baseball (KCLB). The departure of Derby, Great Bend, El Dorado and Haysville from the Jayhawk League in August left us with only 4 members. Since that time, Hays, Liberal and Dodge City have been working hard behind the scenes to find a way to stay together, play each other, and still be able to compete at the National Baseball Congress World Series.

After much discussion and exploration, the best option to accomplish those goals was to join the KCLB. The Jayhawk League had a long, storied and successful run, and while we worked hard to try and keep the Jayhawk League independent by adding additional teams, we regret that option did not work out. However, the KCLB consists of quality teams with NBC experience and success and by adding our own extensive experience and success, the combination creates the best summer collegiate baseball league in Kansas.

Thanks Wisco! I certainly didn't mean to make you, or anyone else, do any research.

I can see why that league would have a tough go these days. Tough to compete geographically IMHO. I know I'd rather have played in the Cape or California.

Boulware is having a tough start to his Cape Cod season. He is hitting 0.53(1-19) which is lowest by far of the regulars. His team dropped its first 3 games, won its next 6 and tied yesterday and is in first place in the standings.

I think this may have to do with the fact that he hasn't played in a year at least I hope that's what it is.

In kind if a small world deal, A girl from Ft Smith, that I went to school with at the UofA covered the story locally in Wichita.

They are building a new ball park amd the Marlins Triple A will move there in 2020.

oh okay that's where the New Orleans Baby Cakes are headed. NO ONE goes to the games here. You can sit right behind home plate for 5$. When Brian Anderson was on the team I'd go watch him. I yelled GO HOGS and he gave me a thumbs up haha
